The site, in 2006
A free collection of example sentences with translations for language learners, written by volunteers in over 400 languages.
Trang Ho began it in 2006 as "a Wikipedia type of thing" where people add sentences, not articles. The name is Japanese for "for example". A French non-profit funded by donations runs it.
In 2006: Trang Ho built a prototype called multilangdict on SourceForge, after finding that German dictionaries gave no full-text usage examples.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
